School So Far

Ah, I have missed this blog! The plates really have been accumulating.. but its fine, I would REALLY much rather draw more than anything. I havent had any real REAL test in my GE's yet (except for that 9/15 quiz I got in Comm3..) so I still cant tell how my grades will come out this year. Grading system in UP is 1-5, 1 being the highest, and so far, my lowest is a two (circles.. guhhh!). We do have a Geol long exam next Friday though so that'll be my first. Wish me luck!

Anyhoo, these are pictures from our group project in Comm 3. Each group member was to choose his/her favorite place in our school and the whole group had to have their picture taken in that area. It was pretty enjoyable and the group was really able to bond more (As if our bond wasnt already tight enough =))). One of my groupmates, RJ, brought an SLR with a video function so I was just going CRAZY! He brought a tripod as well so we had no problems in taking our pictures. Unfortunately, since it was all tripod-shot, some pictures arent focused the way I planned them to be. But its fine, what matters is that we enjoyed doing this project. :)

The picture above is us with Zorro, our school "mascot". He's always around the campus dressed like that doing God knows what.

Oh and before I leave, the top I wore is Victoria's Secret and the shorts are Topshop. Been eyeing them since they came out but they went out of stock so when Topshop had them back in, I just had to get them. Heeyy, Topshop has a good collection out this season! I'm definitely getting a lot of stuff from there sooonn :)

BYE GUYS! TILL THE NEXT! :D

Seeing Stripes

What I Wore: H&M Striped blazer, Victoria's Secret blue top, Mango jeans and shoes, Topshop bag.

I like how my nails matched the color of my lips. Haha it looked cool and funky! This outfit is different from the usual cause of the splash of color in it. I likee it! By the way, I've missed wearing high heels! I got away with wearing these sky high ones from Mango the other day cause I didnt show myself wearing them to my dad until we had to leave the house. Heehee. Hmm.. so no school tomorrow! YIPEEE!!

Strawberry Fields Forever

What I Wore: Topshop dress, Alice+Olivia for Payless shoes, Mango cardigan, From Rockwell bag.

I felt like a strawberry in my outfit today.

I was inspired to make an outfit post since its been forever since I last dressed up and I felt like my clothes needed some loving soo here! This is what I wore to the mall to get new glasses and to get my sim card fixed. I changed to my mother's Gucci wedges for the mall though, since the heels I had on in the picture are too high. Just wore them for the pic cause I dont really have a decent picture in them yet. I actually wore them out to Fashion Week but I didn't have the chance to document my outfit that day. I super love these shoes!! Its my favorite find from NY I think. They are just so gorgeous!

Uniform

(L-R) First two from Forever21, Other three from Victoria's Secret


(L-R) First three from Victoria's Secret, last one from Topshop

My school uniform. They interchange every other week --one week in V-necks, and the next in plaid. I figured since I'm dorming, it'll be hard to pick out clothes every other week so having a uniform is the best remedy. Not so bad actually since it has lessened my "things to worry about" when packing.

So my plates have been accumulating this past week. I have three plates to make for Mechanical Drawing, and two for Free-hand. I've been so busy which is why I can really reassure you that my updates will just keep getting less until I get buried in all the plates I have to do. It was just that I was inspired to make a blog post that I decided to update. There's just too much happening in fashion right now that I couldnt just NOT blog about. For one thing, Mango has started their end of season sale last week (which I havent been to yet because of my hectic schedule !!!) while Topshop is having their sale on July 1 and 2 and Zara is having theirs on the first week of July although there is no exact date yet. Also, FOREVER 21 is opening in Manila on July 2 in SM Megamall. It's a big thing because its FOREVER 21 we're talking about. I dont know what to feel about it though. A part of me is disheartened because now everyone's going to be able to have the same thing and having something from F21 wont make you unique anymore (hahaha how seelfishh!). Although another part of me is ecstatic because that means we dont need to go abroad for our dose of Forever21! Also, having Forever21 here just makes us ALMOST as good a shopping mecca as Hongkong or Singapore! In my opinion, having F21 in Manila will increase tourism somehow especially since shopping at F21 Philippines will DEFINITELY be cheaper than in other countries considering the dollar conversions.

I still dont know if I will be attending the opening because one things for sure, there will be a LOT of people on that day hence I doubt I will be able to shop properly. I'm actually going through a shopping withdrawal right now -- I dont know if I should shop or not, because in all honesty, I still have a bunch of unused stuff here in my closet and I'd feel guilty if I buy another set of clothes, dump them all in, and wait for decades till I'm able to wear them. I even have shoes that I havent worn yet!! And it sucks because right now I'm eyeing this pair from the Forever21 site and I'd probably freak if I found it laying there on July 2. If I get the shoe, I KNOW that I wont be wearing it anytime soon since I still have two others waiting to be worn.

On the other hand, I WANT to go on the first day though because I just KNOW that there will be a lot on stake. I feel like theres this item that will be gone by the first day and I'm just too scared to let that happen. Hahaha! I just have this urge to go there and grab everything I love!

It's still on Friday though so I have time to think. There's lots of pros and cons to going there so I'm definitely taking that into consideration (class starts at 1pm, i have to take a trike, an LRT, and an MRT to get there, etc.). If all else fails, maybe I'll just wait for the fad to die down --and for my workload to lessen-- till I finally visit there. Buutt, I will let you know what happens for sure (even if it takes a lifetime before I get to update!). Till then!!
